Doesn't this team have enough scoring? shouldn't we look to bring a defensive presence off of the bench at the SF/PF position?

Posey would be the better fit but this helps spread the floor.

Jeffries and Balkman can play defense. We are in desperate need for a stretch 3/4 that can hit the outside shot. Shawne Williams would have filled this need. I guess Novak will cover the offensive part of that if Posey isn't signed.

The [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] plan to sign three-point specialist [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] to a one-year deal, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Novak, a 6-foot-11 forward, does have to pass through waivers unclaimed. The Knicks would guarantee Novak a league minimum contract for the 2011-12 season.

Brought into [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] camp late last week, the Spurs released Novak and placed him on waivers Monday night.
Novak played 23 games for the Spurs in the 2010-’11 season, and has 225 career appearances with the Spurs, [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. Out of his 720 career field-goal attempts, 513 are from behind the three-point line. He’s shooting a career .417 on his three pointers.

I thought they already used the Mini-MLE on B. Davis? I hope we don't give Novak the 2.5. He's not worth it and it would be a smack in the face to Davis.

No Davis was given the vet minimum.

It wouldn't be a smack in the face as it makes no difference to the player how much their new team signs them for. Whatever the new team pays the player is deducted from the salary that their previous team is still paying them.

Say X player is owed 15 million. Team A amnesties him. Team B signs him to a 2 million dollar contract. Team A now owes him 13 million of the 15 million.

At the end of the day the amnestied player makes the same amount regardless.

not a bad move considering he could be a good role player and stretch the floor for us I like his corner 3 ability as that will be huge for us. Now really all thats left is Stevenson or Posey and this team will be set for a run.
